Sprint Events - Top Performers

JJ McDermott, Bettendorf - He has put himself in a great spot heading into his final state meet, currently sitting at IA #1 and US #12 in the 400m hurdles after a 53.44 at the Assumption Last Chance Drake Relays Qualifier. After finishing 3rd in 2024 and 9th in 2025, he looks like the guy to beat this time around.

Kolby Hodnefield, Clear Lake - He wasted no time making a statement, opening his season with wins in the 200m and 400m dashes at Clear Lake, running 21.54 and 49.30. He now holds the state lead in the 200m and already has multiple wins under his belt, including a sweep at the North Iowa Indoor Championships.

Micayla Ramirez, North Scott - She continues to roll in the 100m dash, picking up another win at the Assumption Last Chance Drake Relays Qualifier and moving to IA #1. She's now four-for-four this season and hasn't been seriously challenged yet. With this kind of momentum, she's going to be right in the mix at state.

Morgan Fisher, Ankeny - She is off to a strong start in the 400m dash, running 55.97 to take over the state lead at the EITFF. After finishing 4th at state last year, she has looked sharp early on and is unbeaten across four sprint races so far.

Field Events - Top Performers

Daxon Kiesau, Urbandale - He's been dominant across the throws this season, winning 8 of 9 competitions between discus and shot put. He currently holds the IA #1 and US #9 mark in the discus at 192-6, set at the Norwalk meet, where he also added a shot put best of 54-4.25. He's putting together one of the most consistent seasons in the state.

Aubree Shields, Mount Ayr - She cleared 5-8 in the high jump to take the win at Central Decatur, improving her personal best by two inches just two weeks after setting it previously. After finishing 3rd at state last year at 5-2, she's made a big jump (literally) and looks like a serious contender.

Delilah Subsin, Ottumwa - The senior continues to be one of the top throwers in the state, winning 7 of 8 competitions so far, including a pair at the Jim Duncan Invitational last week. She's currently ranked #1 in Iowa in the discus and #2 in the shot put, while also sitting US #17 in the discus. The defending state champion in the discus has picked up right where she left off last season and could be adding another state ring to her collection next month (or two).
